Thanks to a special addition of baking powder, these wings achieve a texture rivaling your favorite restaurant’s, with a savory garlic butter and parmesan coating that elevates every bite.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 2 ½ pounds chicken wings, halved at joint

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, grated
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Optional Dry-Brine: Pat the wings dry using paper towels. In a bowl, combine the baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the wings in the mixture to coat evenly. Place the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate uncovered overnight or for at least 45 minutes to an hour. Remove from fridge 30-40 minutes before cooking.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Rack: Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450ºF (230ºC). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Season Wings (if no dry-brine): If you did not dry-brine, pat wings completely dry again. Mix baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika, and evenly season wings on both sides. Arrange wings skin side up on the prepared wire rack.
  4. Bake Wings: Place wings in the preheated oven and bake for 28-38 minutes based on wing size. Flip wings after 18 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Wings should be golden with crispy skin and cooked through.
  5. Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While wings are baking, combine butter, grated garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and chopped parsley in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until butter is melted and fragrant.
  6. Toss Wings in Sauce: Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with garlic butter sauce and toss well to coat each wing evenly. Sprinkle grated parmesan over the wings and toss again to distribute cheese evenly.
  7. Serve Warm: Plate the wings immediately and enjoy their crispy, garlicky, cheesy goodness while warm.

Notes

  • For best texture, dry-brining wings overnight is recommended.
  • Air fryer instructions: Cook wings at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes, shaking basket halfway through, then toss with garlic parmesan sauce as above.
  • Ensure wings are patted very dry before seasoning to maximize crispiness.
  • Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any off-flavors.
